  1. DRAG FORCE ANALYSIS OF CAR AUTHORS ABHISHEK KUMAR RAVISHEK KUMAR SESSION 2005-2006 DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING G. H. RAISONI COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, NAGPUR.

  2. CONTENTS • Introduction • Motivation • Regimes of External Flow • Profile Drag • Minimizing Drag on a LMV • Expression For Drag Force • Stream-lined and Bluff Body • Components of Drag • Thrust Vs Speed of Car • Project • Limitations • Conclusion • References

  3. INTRODUCTION • Decreasing the fuel consumption of road vehicles. • Drag is one of the most important issues when it comes to Aerodynamics design of road vehicles

  4. MOTIVATION • Designing a vehicle with a minimized drag resistance provides economy and performance advantages. • The main motivation for reducing drag resistance is: • Fuel consumption reduction • Performance increasing

  5. REGIMES OF EXTERNAL FLOW External Flow of Fluid on Vertical Plate

  6. External Flow of Fluid on Horizontal Plate

  7. PRESSURE RECOVERY

  8. PROFILE DRAG • Pressure drag • Friction drag Profile drag = Pressure drag + Friction drag

  9. Expression For Drag Force • The Drag force value for a moving vehicle is given by the following expression. DF =1/2 A ρ CD V2 where , CD is the drag coefficient A is the projected frontal area of the vehicle ρ is the density of air V is the speed of the vehicle relatively to the air

  10. STREAM-LINED AND BLUFF BODY

  11. MINIMIZING DRAG ON A LMV(CAR) SHAPE OF VEHICLE’S BODY

  12. DRAG COMPONENTS

  13. THRUST Vs SPEED OF CAR

  14. PROJECT DIMENSIONS : OVERALL LENGH 3335 mm OVERALL WIDTH 1440 mm 2D SCETCH OF MARUTI 800

  15. LIMITATIONS • Space Constraint • Styling may be the most flagrant example: Consumers/buyers always seek for a certain ‘look'. This concept is today very different from the aerodynamically ‘ideal’ car. • Drag and Lift Relation

  16. CONCLUSION • Smooth vehicle shape, rounded corners. • Tapered rear end. • Minimized body seams. • Substitution of rear view mirrors with Cameras. • Smooth underbody.
